Ok, it may sound like a silly question but I want/need to know anyway: will the two "planned" new races have the same sized/shaped bases and the same/similar styled tos units as the sathricans or will the be slightly different to strengthen the visual seperation between the races (question could also be applied to command tray but since building several of them could be just a waste
)
Personally I would like to see races with similar styles of sceince having similar (but not neccessarily the same) styled bases while really alien styles have something else. (so a new race with weapons and designs that are at least "simi-plausable" with real scientific theory would have something like the sathricans but a race with bio-enginnered ships would not... dose that make sense?). The same thing would apply to TOS units and (in the my house isn't too small and I have time to build world) command trays.

PS: Got this idea/question in my head while watching a show on the science channel about how the science of today is proving many sceince fiction staples such as lazers and lightning guns to be plausible, even if (for differering reasons) not practicle, to build. The lightining gun was real cool.
even if not really practicle
